What Causes Persistent Pain In Left Pelvic Area Long After Having UTI?

I have had pain in the lower left pelvic area around & near the hip area & extending around the back. Diagnosed with a UTI a month ago & was cleared with Cipro...had 3 more cultures since then..all negative for any infections. The pain is constant..like a toothache...with sharp piercing pain intermittently. Shampooing my hair & raising my arms creates pain ...lying on the left side becomes painful quickly...rolling over creates pain that has taken my breath away. Had a CT scan & showed no cysts, lesions or polyps. No upset stomach or digestive issues or female issues so I am guessing I may have somehow fractured or broken a pelvic bone or hip. YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE???

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The imaging would show any structural changes in the abdomen and pelvis.

The fact that it is worse with certain positions may imply that it is related to either muscle or bone injury.

In addition to anti inflammatory pain medication, a physiotherapist may also be helpful for you.
Anti inflammatory medication includes naproxen, cataflam or ibuprofen.

Your doctor should be able to refer you to a physiotherapist.

I hope this helps
